(IR) What would your PC do, if he or she received the Sending of the Wanderer?

[Kalanyr]

The Drow outraged by the slaughter of drow on Toril and even the images of surface elves (who we still think are superior to humans and all other races except us!) being slaughtered and turned into lovers for pathetic slave humanoids, immediately move through our underground tunnels to beneath this technomancy (if we have explosives we place them in key points below the ground and retreat) if not we launch an all out invasion under cover of night, slaying all those we can get our hands,spells and technology on and making off with every scrap of technology and research we can .

 

[Kalanyr]

Ok given the above information I send messengers to Iuz, offering an alliance in the face of this threat to the power of both of us.

And will send infiltrators into the Yeomonry, Geoff, Keoland and Ulek I wish to find out how they view this. I will make covert overtures ( offering some aid aid,magic and what we have learnt of technology from our research (just offering that which will not give them an advantage over us if it comes to that) to those who dislike what seems to be coming.

Next I wish to attempt to contact some of the Demon Lords of the abyss, I want to know their feelings on this (and also to extract some of the Knowledge they have no doubt gathered on technology) and if they would add to my fight against it.

Any one who appears to be a threat entering drow-controlled area's of the Underdark (what is it called on Oerth?) shall be captured if possible and interrogated (magically and physically) if they have hostile intentions they will be destroyed if not they will be imprisoned in Dimensional locked cells.

Messengers will be sent to the Mindflayers,Duergar,Derro etc with offers of alliance to quell this first threat to our unseen power in many generations.

Also we will now begin an attempt to collect all items of technology we can from anywhere they can be found within our reach and step up the resources dedicated to the study of these devices.

Also we will seek out any renegade surface elves who have knowledge of what is happening above ground and offer them simple technology in exchange for serving as covert spies.

We will also begin construction on these tunnels.

 

[Kalanyr]

Given the closed nature of their minds even if they approach in peace they must consent to being taken under armed guard, the power to close their minds without devices of mindsheilding (I'm assuming) intrigues me enough that they will be treated well (luxurious room, etc and (more importantly in all likelihood) the execution of any drow who tries to poison/assinate these people ) and be granted an audience with Kalanyr they will be stripped of all arms before this meeting and will stand in an anti-magic field during this time (if psionics are not transparent with magic it will also be an anti-psionic field). The rooms though luxurious will be well guarded of course as well as warded against transportational magics.

Edena:

I will have to wait till I speak with my allies before I post a response. (Also, I need to thoroughly read the Wanderer's message.)

Are we officially starting now? We need more people. I realize that you are having internet service problems, but there are major factions unclaimed. For the present, the factions I represent are trying to determine the veracity of this message. However, we have seen false identities used before -- if this message is not from the Wanderer. Iuz was able to convice nations that he was Vatun. I will try to find the truth of what is going on in the Lortmils. It is possible that this message is accurate and sent by a well meaning person. It is also possible that someone is trying to manipulate everyone into war. It would not be the first or the last time. I also need to discuss something VERY IMPORTANT with my allies.

(Edena, I will be in touch. I will be logging off soon. Sometime tomorrow I will e-mail several of the participants and you.)

The members of the Grand Alliance urge that the truth of these matters be determined. (More elegant language stating my concerns.) We should be wary of any hasty action, until the truth of this message and its messenger is determined. For now, the Grand Alliance counsels that all who have heard this message be wary. For good or ill, change may be upon us. Let us first assess the situation at hand.

 

[William Ronald]

Edena,

I am logging off shortly. (Failed my Will Save, must sleep.)

I believe the name of the leader of the UC of Toril was something like Lydia Gomez. I think the name had a Spanish feel to it. I do remember Alan Payne was her predecessor, who became central to the Church of Mercy of Toril.

Talk to you soon.

 

[Kalanyr]

Of course I am being covert, who ever hear of overt infiltrators ?

 

[Kalanyr]

OOC-Hmm I think I liked the 100 strength better as it is now we'd need virtually every Greyhawkian in alliance to stop even what little force they can already bring.

Ah well.
IC- I am now sending out covert messengers to every known power or nation of oerth who wouldn't kill them on sight seeking alliances against the horror these outsiders would bring.

 

[Kalanyr]

This is very bad news indeed.

The drow will now commence bargaining with the demons for aid and constructiong portals (which of course cast a form of geas on demons who pass through it preventing them from harming or interfering with the drow and our plans for as long as they remain on Oerth) from the Abyss for those who agree .

(I'm hoping the demons and their rulers don't think much of the peaceful world order of Toril)

Question- For the purposes of interference do either of the following count as gods- Abyssal Princes & the other Demon Dieties of the Drow

If not perhaps we could interest one of them in a chance to steal Vecna's power since I doubt any of them feel like sinking to mere demigodhood or worse.

 

[Corinth]

Serves Me Right...

Next time, I'll read these threads in order.

Edena, I may reconsider as I do have an old cleric from my AD&D1e days that I've not converted to 3e yet. Now I have to, as he won't take that sending well at all. I'll get back to you.

 

[Kalanyr]

Kalanyr wondering if the presence of the mighty Vecna will have any effect on the magic of greyhawk orders immediate divination and research, perhaps the presence of the godlike lich has brought something useful to us.

 

[Kalanyr]

Ok now I know that Vecna's presence may affect divine magic I wish to see if his presence has any affect on the arcane magics.

 

[The Forsaken One]

Hmm I thought I had claimed what RIOT GEAR is playing now, but to bad guess I missed something. But I'm interested in playing the Devils from Baator if their are plenty of demons here. So If the forces of baator become involved Edena I'd liek to play them, I'll be keeping up with this thread, it's nice and so much works deserves to be rewarded with a nice storyline evolving from it

Lord Melkor (Talos)

Check Kalanyr's preparations (in the other thread) regarding the problems with priestess's of lolth they are allowed to continue to survive and wield some power but I, Kalanyr , am the ruler (and a follower of Vhaerun) and I will indeed accept this alliance on the condition I am granted a seat on this Shadow Council ,if you would like to continue we should transport this to the actual thread.

 

[Kalanyr]

A repost of Kalanyrs Preparations

Hmm a mere 40 years not long for the drow, however the Drow of Oerth have tried the following during this time (What is successful is up to Edena)

1- Find the few good drow that exist (If none do, put helmets of Opposite Alignment on a small amount (say 50) LE drow)

2- Convince these now good aligned drow the we the drow of Oerth want peace with the elves

3- Send them off as messengers

4- See if we can work out an agreement to get more arms from our suppliers on Toril without being overly obvious about it, study these weapons and try to work out any improvement that could be made with either technology or magic. And while doing this see if we can find any other uses for the tech and magic we so discover. (In particular I'm looking for explosives)

5- Any slaves we have will be place in an arena and forced to fight the elite drow & giants in order to further boost the power of the elites and reduce any possibility of sudden treachery within our ranks.Winning slaves will be allowed their freedom. ( If they can survice the Underdark.)

6- Lord Kalanyr of the Drow will through great ritual and sacrifice of lesser Priestess' of Lolth (Kalanyr being a male really dislikes Lolth though I will still deal with her and allow her priestess' some power no point in making more enemies) and bargaining with the Lords of the Limbo and the least evil Power/Lord of the Abyss (one who dislikes Lolth) attempts to add the power of an Anarchic half-fiend to his already formidable abilities. (DrM CN 20 Wizard/4 Fighter/4 Ranger/5 Archmage/Loremaster 2)

The Above ritual succeeded: Leaving Kalanyr An anarchic half-fiend drow male CN Wiz 20/Archmage 5/Loremaster 2/Fighter 4/Ranger 4)

 

[Kalanyr]

"Very well then I accept this alliance. I have started my preparations Lord Talos. I suggest we prepare before these fools let what happened on Toril happen here. I will not see my brethen destroyed by mindflayers, or our distant kin cavorting with races meant mainly as our slaves (by blood it brings shame to us)!

You are welcome to build your stronghold in the Underdark on the condition that they remain outside of drow territory."

 

[Kalanyr]

Lord Talos do you have ICQ or MSN or Yahoo messenger?, it might help if we could plan without our actions being overtly obvious.

 

[Kalanyr]

We will accept these enhanced weapons but will study them for negative side effects before putting them to use.

Several Drow Mages express interest in this Shadow Weave and would like to be trained in its ways.

Various experts will be put to work studying what technology/mancy we acquire from our allies in an effort to begin constructing our own so that we may both provison our troops faster.

 

[Kalanyr]

Sorry, I was typing that when you posted your hold, I'll cease until others start posting.

 

[Kalanyr]

Far from the Vault of the Drow just outside drow terrritory on the opposite edge of the continent .

1) its certainly far enough away the Daemons & Demons don't try to bargain with &/or kill each other.

2)By creating gates/teleport circles It allows us to launch large forces quickly. from distant locations

Edit 1-Hey if you post it one more time I think you'll actually get my name right ! Your making better progress than most of my friends did when I was playing a drow named Kalanyr.

Edit 2- Its time for me to go to sleep now, if this starts up before I return the drow will:
1) Send some of their people for transformation into shades & shadow templated creatures
2) Continuing calling forth demons (May Lolth and Vhaerun watch over!)
3)Continue our research into what effect the presence of vecna has on arcane & divine magic and see if we can find a way to take advantage of this.
4) See if we can find a way to disable technology/technomancy
5) Continue our other plans
6) Defend themselves from any unwelcome intrusions.
7) Go along with any plans of Lord Talos as long as they are not self-destructive to the drow, their leader or plans.

 

[The Forsaken One]

Seen the growing number of demons in this plane and with them the increasing amount of influence of the orders of chaos, the devils are eager to act. We will not have the forces of chaos, especially those low life demons run rampant across this prime plane. Not as long as we, the evil forces of law are still around.

In order to act against this abominal invasion of forces of Chaos, we, the devils of baator seek a way to prevent the forces of chaos to spread their influence. We, the forces of Baator will present ourselves to the Solistraim and try to persuade them to join into a alliance so the forces of order may rule supreme and let evil darken the world while the skies will rain fire upon those who opose us, the evil forces of law.

If riot gear accepts, let all who represent good or chaos tremble and fear before the burning legions of hell.


(Any other LE factions are welcome to contact us, the devils with your offer, Riot gear or anyother participant who needs me, contact me at NukemUntilTheyGlow@hotmail.com that's also my MSN adress.)

Further I'd like to know from edena what knowledge the devils have of the city of the gods and how we can aid the Solistraim in finding it so we can claim those immense hidden technology and artifacts for the forces of lawful evil.
